Question

A researcher is interested in investigating whether living situation and pet ownership are dependent. The table below shows the results of a survey.

Frequencies of Living Situation and Pet

  Single Family Couple
Dog 85 100 95
Cat 91 74 71
Various 50 51 49
None 63 55 63

 What can be concluded at the αα = 0.05 significance level?

  1. What is the correct statistical test to use?
    • Goodness-of-Fit
    • Paired t-test
    • Independence
    • Homogeneity
  2. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
    H0:H0: 
    • Pet ownership and living situation are independent.
    • The distribution of pets is not the same for each living situation.
    • Pet ownership and living situation are dependent.
    • The distribution of pets is the same for each living situation.



    H1:H1: 
    • Pet ownership and living situation are dependent.
    • The distribution of pets is the same for each living situation.
    • Pet ownership and living situation are independent.
    • The distribution of pets is not the same for each living situation.
  3. The test-statistic for this data = (Please show your answer to three decimal places.)

  4. The p-value for this sample = (Please show your answer to four decimal places.) 

  5. The p-value is Select an answer less than (or equal to) greater than  αα 

  6. Based on this, we should
    • reject the null
    • accept the null
    • fail to reject the null
  7. Thus, the final conclusion is...
    • There is sufficient evidence to conclude that pet ownership and living situation are dependent.
    • There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the distribution of pets is not the same for each living situation.
    • There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the distribution of pets is not the same for each living situation.
    • There is insufficient evidence to conclude that pet ownership and living situation are dependent.
    • There is sufficient evidence to conclude that pet ownership and living situation are independent.
